High gas prices in the US: Californian Governor Newsom proposes $11 billion relief package

Governor Gavin Newsom released the outlines of his plan to provide $11 billion in assistance to Californians facing record-high gas prices, despite the fact that oil and gas firms continue making massive profits.

Furthermore, this proposition expedites $1.75 billion of part of the $10 billion ZEV package for the purpose of passenger cars and the construction of more charging infrastructure throughout the state – particularly for low communities – to further reduce the government’s reliance on oil and save Californians cash.
